BERGDORF GOODMAN

With Bendel to the south and the Plaza to the north both lost in Gatsby Christmases, Bergdorf Goodman keeps in the Fifth Avenue theme but with a more elegant Jazz Age concept—the “BG Follies,” they call it. Here, a sophisticated all-ladies jazz band (think Some Like It Hot, but more champagne than hip flasks) plays on checkerboard parquet in a black-and-white-themed window, edged in wonderful Deco brass. In keeping with the Bergdorf way of titling each window something witty and winking, this one is called “By Request.”
